The Briefest History of Time

"A very interesting and well-written book that I strongly recommend for the lay reader interested in Science, as well as for students and researchers who uses thermodynamics as a working tool."

"This is a fast pace, entertaining and exciting book. The illustrations are superb, quality printing and the elegant deep chocolate color of the cover make this a 'must have' addition to your library. Students of philosophy and science finally have a fresh reference regarding Time thru the eyes of an exceptional intellect. Everyone who reads this marvelous work about Time will enjoy thinking about the concepts for weeks, months or even years."

"Ben-Naim's book makes a solid contribution to critically examine what other writers have written about the history of time, and that's why I think everyone should read it."

"As a warning against all too arbitrary mind games with physical concepts Ben-Naim’s book serves its purpose – and above all it is fun reading."

"The book presents valid arguments against a misconception of entropy and against arguments concerning the history of the universe that are derived from it by many authors, including Hawking. This helps in educating lay readers to read popular science books critically, in accordance with Ben Naim’s explicitly stated goals."

"This is a thought-provoking book that would be of interest to anyone wanting to ponder the concept of time, and to develop more critical thinking skills that may be useful when reading popular science books or articles."
